Endomysium, Epimysium, Fascia come together to form
tendon
CT around whole muscle
epimysium

peromysium
CT around cells
endomysium
Nerves and blood cells penetrate _____ together and branch out through _____ and ______
epimysium
perimysium
endomysium
Skeletal muclse cells are made up of a bundle of smaller rod like structures called
myofibrils (bundle of thick and thin filaments)
Myofibrils are made up of even smaller structures/ proteins called
myofilaments
T tubules
conduct waves of electrical activity
dArk bands called
A fibres
LiGHT bands called
i fibres
Sacoplasmic Reticulum function to
store and release Ca ions
Z lines
anchor thin filaments
Protein titin
anchors thick filaments to Z line
Thick filaments are made of protein ____
myosin
- Actin
- Nebulin
- Tropomyosin
- Troponin
Thin filaments proteins
Double-stranded
- produces 2 heads
- capable of using ATP
Myosin
Binding site for myosin
Actin
Cross bridge cycle steps
Myosin heads bind to Actin
- Myosin cross-bridge attaches to actin
- Working stoke – myosin pulls actin filament
- New ATP attaches to myosin head
- ATP splits and myosin head cocks back
Where does th Ca++ come from to bind troponin and initiate the contraction?
cisternae of the SR
